Day 3 and as per usual, always running late when we are on vacation. It would be too late to grab breakfast downstairs in the lobby so Mommy made the executive decision to walk out to a breakfast place in a fancy building to pick up breakfast goodies.
Fresh snow this morning!
The Foshay building is just 0.6 miles away or 3 minutes by foot. Glad some of the pavement was cleared:
There it is! The one with the yellow block writings on top. It was built by Wilbur Foshay - an art student turned businessman of at that point, owning an empire of 3 utility companies. The building plays homage to the Washington Monument. Built in 1929, it is 447 ft (32 stories) and was the tallest building in the Midwest for 48 years.
Of course, our 3 minute walk took longer as Graham and Charlie got distracted with these mini snow-plowers:
And then, of course Charlie is being his sneaky self throwing snow balls. Look at those cheeky eyes!
Made it! Only a few minutes to pick up some food before auntie Corina comes by the hotel to pick us up:
Mommy totally gets distracted by all the awesome decor!
What cool art deco everywhere within the building:
Lovely imprint of the Foshay building on the mirror behind the bar:
Even the radiator grill is fancy! Talk about solid metal:
As usual, boys are just interested in the sweets for breakfast:
Only on vacation is when we're allowed to have a HUGE chocolate chip rice krispy for breakfast!
Future office building for Bobby??!
I still don't know how we would live here. So cold and so much snow in the winter!! We would definitely need at least one fireplace in the house if we moved to MN:
Checking out of the hotel and my sister picks us up. We are actually off to a golf course right now to get a quick tour:
Uhhh... I'm told there's a golf course underneath all that snow!!!
And these aren't actually flagsticks for the golf course. They are used to mark the course for cross-country skiing. Ha!
This window is like a picture frame:
It was a great lunch at the golf club after the tour. Definitely makes us miss the "country club" lifestyle. Ya, I know... call us spoiled :-P
Okay, off to see a home after lunch. Obviously, we are not sure about the possibilities of moving to MN. But since we're here, we figured it would be good to check out some homes and different areas. And looks like the boys are already getting used to the idea of shoveling snow. Ha ha!
My sister is so excited on the possibility of us moving to MN:
We'll see what happens in the next week or so. Bob had a total of 15 interviews within that same company. Yikes!!
